Adaptor protein (AP) complexes play central roles in intracellular vesicular trafficking by coupling cargo selection to ...

Edward Lyman, associate professor in the departments of physics and astronomy, as well as chemistry and biochemistry, was recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The article, “When ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Cell membrane integrity is vital for the survival and function of tissues across biological systems. The rapid repair of membrane disruptions is mediated by specialised mechanisms that mobilise ...

A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

LA JOLLA, CA—Hitting targets embedded within the cell membrane has long been difficult for drug developers due to the membrane’s challenging biochemical properties. Now, Scripps Research chemists have ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...

Proteins designed by artificial intelligence (AI) are being considered for use in treating everything from snakebites to cancer. A Nature Communications paper, out this week, describes how Australian ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...
